American Airlines is expanding its presence at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport with new non-stop flights to two popular destinations.
The Fort Worth-based airline is adding daily non-stop services between Austin and Denver and between Austin and Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Denver service starts December 16 and the Albuquerque service starts January 4.
Three other airlines already offer non-stop services between Austin and Denver: Frontier, Southwest and United. Two airlines now offer non-stop flights between Austin and Albuquerque: Allegiant and Southwest.
Both Denver and Albuquerque are great destinations for skiers and year-round vacationers. Albuquerque is also a gateway for tourists visiting nearby Santa Fe.
The new flights on American were first reported by The Points Guy, a travel blog. CultureMap confirmed the changes with the airline.
An existing destination on the American map is also becoming increasingly popular.
In March, the airline introduced a Saturday summer service between Austin and Aspen, Colorado. “It has since been extended to cover the main winter periods over the Christmas break and Saturdays in January and February,” says The Points Guy.
American Nonstop operates daily between Austin and Aspen from March 3 through April 4. American is the only airline that offers non-stop flights on this route.
Another American route from Austin is losing momentum, however. The twice-daily service between Austin and Washington Dulles International Airport in the suburbs of Washington, DC ends on December 15. The route will return on January 4th, but with only one flight per day.
American competes against United for passengers on the Austin-Dulles route.
